The Ruling on Unveiling in Front of the Cousin

Question
Is the cousin of the girl considered one of her relatives, and is it permissible for her to unveil in front of him?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is forbidden to expose one's private parts in front of a cousin due to the possibility of marrying him. As for covering the face, it is for the sake of avoiding temptation; if that temptation is absent, then it is permissible to uncover the face. And God knows best.
